Florentino Gregorio, husband of Sonya Gregorio and father of Frank Gregorio, hugs his remaining sons during the funeral of his wife and son on December 27, 2020 in Paniqui, Tarlac province, Philippines. Sonya Gregorio, 52, and her 25-year old son Frank Gregorio, were both shot in the head by an off-duty police officer before Christmas after a row over noise. The incident was captured in what is now a viral video that has provoked a wave of outrage directed at the government and a police force that many say acts with impunity. The shootings are the latest in a series of killings involving the Philippine National Police, which is currently the focus of an international investigation. A recent report by the International Criminal Court said there was reasonable basis to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed as part of President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody war on drugs in the Philippines.
